First day at home after discharge



Recommended Posts

I couldn't drink anywhere near my 64 oz for about two months. My doctor told me to do the best I could. Check with your doctor.

Having a hard time drinking all ten Water required. How have you managed?

At first.. I didn't.

Just do your best. When you can increase do it. But don't hurt yourself. You're probably in enough pain. Hang in there, it all gets easier and less painful.

I woke up between 4:30 and 5am each morning and drank steadily until 10-11pm. It took focus and timing. It MUST be done.

Honestly, I walked around the entire length and breadth of my home with a bottled Water in hand sipping as I walked. Rested as I finished one bottle after the other. And I knew I needed 16 oz bottles a day. So spaced out throughout the day when not getting Proteins in. I was NEVER thirsty for the water, just drank out of necessity. Also, infused water with fruits such as HINT went down easier.

Go luck and JUST DO IT. Better days ahead 🧡🧡

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
